I supervise exactly one person, and it's a ton of cognitive effort to analyse his level of competence, determine what skills/paradigm/knowledge he should gain and then create tasks for him to expose him to, help him internalize and then reinforce that same thing.

He's a great colleague.

Makes sense to me. For teachers that's their whole job (mostly... research professors and the like have other responsibilities, of course). And multiplied by a hundred or more.

Imagine something comes along that invalidates all of the tricks of the trade that have helped make it manageable. You're back to square one. I don't envy the position educators are in.
